Enjoy the thaw. It's with us through Sunday

As our January thaw begins, area lakes and ponds continue to be unsafe with thin ice. We're in for temperatures topping 40 in the afternoon through this weekend. Be aware that any melted snow and ice will re-freeze each night on pavement.

High pressure moves east of us today bringing a southwesterly flow of milder air in. After some ice Thursday night and rain Friday, a second surge of miler air will push in for the weekend. Temperatures will push towards 50 and as a front and low pressure system approach Sunday, another round of rain will push in. After this weekend, cooler air will return.
